Marx claims that democracy no longer exists
because of gay marriage. In 2013, he said that
the Supreme Court’s rulings on DOMA and Proposition 8 have made our democracy
only an illusion and accused the court of “dismantling
American democracy” and turning America into “a nation where democracy is a mere visual effect used to spawn a
perception of self-rule that no longer ultimately exists.” Apparently, the
courts undermine democracy because “traditional
marriage activists” ostensibly “vastly
outnumber their opponents”, which is, incidentally, demonstrably false, but
does show that Marx doesn’t really understand the role of the courts or the
Constitution. (Marx apparently even believed that when courts rule against what
he perceive to be majority opinion they “trump
Constitutional principles”; no, he doesn’t understand this at all; not that anyone would ever suspect him of being intellectually honest about
these things in any case.

Marx is primarily associated with his position as director of the wingnut Judicial Confirmation Network,
a group that putatively combats “judicial activism” (i.e. decisions they don’t
personally agree with), but which in reality seeks precisely to influence court nominations so that appointees would not too slavishly
adhere to the Constitution when the Constitution comes into conflict with how
Marx thinks society should be organized, which it frequently does. Marx was formerly head of the Virginia Christian Coalition and the day-to-day coordinator of evangelical
support for President W’s reelection campaign. He is also a Pat Robertson’s Regent “University” alumnus.

Diagnosis: Deranged Taliban-style activist,
who – like so many likeminded people – like to pretend to defend freedom and
the Constitution while (fervently) doing the exact opposite. Marx is nevertheless
one of the movers and shakers of the religious right, and worrisomely
influential.

On both sides of this one:I can see that you are anti-Christian, and you have probably guessed I am not.I do believe there are a huge population of people who use the name(s) of God to further their self centered agendas to be able to fill their pockets and say they are a NFP-501(c)(3) to even further dip into the taxpayers funds (or lack of ie 2018), and this is wrong in MHO.However, I do believe there are many devoted people working throughout the world trying to help people in need, sometimes their deepest, darkest need. Many, if not most of those organizations are Christian, and following the great commission and Christ Jesus’ example to love and lend a helping hand to your fellow man in need.Just saying, everything’s not black or white, life is full of beautiful colorful nuances.
